JOSEPH K. ANDREWS, OF ANTRIM,.OHIO.

COMBINATION 0F SEAT AND CNE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 26,643, dated January `3,".1860Q` To all whom 'it may concern: y

Be it known that I, J. K. ANDREWS, of Antrim, county of Guernsey, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Cane Seat; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon. l

In the drawings similar characters refer to like parts.

Figure l is a View of the cane as it appears when used as a walking-cane. Fig. 2

represents the cane when used as a seat.

Fig. 3 represents the cane when closed', the cap and ferrule being removed. Fig. 'tis the cap. Fig. 5 is the ferrule. Fig. 6 is the three pointed center-pin.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will describe its construction and operation.

a represents the legs into which the main body of the cane divides when used as a seat. o, the three pointed center pin upon which the legs of the cane work. c the canvas cl a pin fastened from the center of the under side of the seat. @the hollow cap which gives a finish to the cane, and conceals the seat. f the ferrule. g aspring for holding fast the ferrule. It will be seen by the drawings that each of the legs is the third part of a cylinder, and that when folded up they `form acylinder, which inay l be tapered off into a conical forni` like `that .y ,35. In operating my invention Irernovethe` 1 of an ordinary cane.

ferrule f by pressing on springg; I then ref i inove cap or head e; then taking hold one end of the cane I separate thelegs a which` spreads open the canvas or leath-erseat, and

the invention is ready for use `as a seat. i

In folding it up `soasto be carried` con-` Q around the veniently, the seat c is folded u pin d, the lower end of whic i rests upon the upper ends of legs ci, this arrangef` ment I can readily force the hollow QcapI e over t-he canvas seat andscrew it ontolthe y legs a.

Thus it will be seen that by a very simple 3 l l and effective arrangement, I` produce a canel scarcely `differing `1in .any` outward appearance from an ordinaryycane, and yet onej which can very readily be transformed ,into

a convenient comfortable seat. y. y

Having thus described iny invention, what I claim as new and desire to` secure byLet-` ters Patent is: i

The cane isconstructed `for the urposes of a cane and seat, operating` as and for the purposes set forth. l
